“ What the fuck did you call that reason again?” he asked coldly, making me wonder where his gentleness had gone!
“ I… I’m five years older than you, Kelvin, and being in a relationship with you…”
“ Bullshit!” he snapped and suddenly grabbed my neck roughly. My eyes widened. “ What are you doing, Kelvin! I’m your teacher…”
“ You didn’t think about that when you let me kiss and finger your pussy huh? You even screamed my name like your lord" then he chuckled. "Look, you can’t even free yourself from my grip.” Then he effortlessly pulled me closer and leaned toward my ear. “ I will make you beg for my love, Lisa. You will learn the hard way that the age gap you valued between us is just a number. You will have nowhere to go but my side, unless you travel off this planet, Lisa. I’ve already claimed you, leaving you with no choice… now get out,” he said calmly, yet very dangerous.
I quickly grabbed my bag and escaped from the room!
How did I even get myself into this situation? I suddenly felt Kelvin was more dangerous than Timothy, my ex-husband!!
Not only am I older than Kelvin! I’m also his homeroom teacher, for goodness sake!! His parents intentionally avoided young teachers and trusted me with their son because I’m older! Now look who is dating him!!
…..

I've read 'The One and Only Ivan' multiple times, and I think it's perfect for kids aged 8-12. The language is simple enough for young readers to follow, but the themes are deep enough to keep them engaged. Ivan's perspective as a gorilla adds a unique twist that makes complex ideas about freedom and friendship accessible. The illustrations help break up the text, making it less intimidating for reluctant readers. While younger kids might need some help understanding the heavier themes, the emotional core resonates with anyone who's ever felt trapped or misunderstood. It's one of those rare books that grows with the reader—simple on the surface but layered underneath.
Bob Books - Set 1 is one of those gems I stumbled upon when my niece was just starting to show interest in letters. The simplicity of the books is perfect for kids around 3 to 5 years old, especially those who are brand-new to reading. The short words, repetitive patterns, and cute illustrations keep them engaged without overwhelming them. I love how each book gradually introduces new sounds, making it feel like a game rather than a lesson. My niece went from pointing at pictures to sounding out words like 'cat' and 'sat' within weeks—it was magical to watch!
That said, every child learns at their own pace. Some 4-year-olds might breeze through Set 1, while others might need more time. For older kids (5–6) who still need confidence boosts, these books work wonders too. The lack of flashy colors or distractions really helps focus on phonics. I’ve even heard of parents using them with reluctant readers who just need that 'I can do this!' moment. The key is patience and letting the child set the pace—no pressure, just fun.
